From BBC News World, September 4, 2013:
“Women around the world have achieved extraordinary things during the past century. But despite major steps forward in securing political, cultural and social rights, women everywhere face steep challenges compared to their male counterparts.
Throughout October our global network of correspondents will try to answer some [of the questions included in this article]. But we want to hear your stories as we go along. Our season will close with a conference on Friday 25 October when 100 women from around the world – some high-profile, many less well-known – will join us at our London HQ for a day of debate and interaction.
The conference will be streamed online and broadcast live in English on BBC World News TV and World Service radio, as well as by many of our 27 global languages services.”
The article includes also important information the issue of female genital mutilation: “More than 30 million girls are at risk of being subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM) over the next decade.”
